Can someone stop the insanity, please my wallet is already crying.

In all seriousness it does sound cool but it won't ever be in my price range.

Looked at phase ones and I didn't stick around after I saw the price.

I imagine the file size would be beyond huge. I wonder what you'd need it for? Maybe billboard size prints? Could the naked eye notice the difference of adding that many more pixels?
I admit to being ignorant. I'm not criticizing, just asking out of curiosity. Working up to holograms maybe?

Never mind. I likely wouldn't understand. Lol I have enough on my plate just trying to learn how to make the most of my older DSLR right now. Lol :)

Back in the 70's Nikon also made lenses for Bronica's medium format cameras and they bore the Nikkor name. They were far superior to the Zenza Bronica lenses but were also a good bit more expensive.

Here is an example

When I scan my 6x4.5 Hasselblad negatives on my Nikon Scanner @4000 ppi and black and white film, the file size is up around 70-75MB. It would be even more if I scanned color negatives. But the detail is incredible. It blows ANYTHING I have seen so far in digital right out of the water.
